About Vivarium: The Glass Houses of Flora + Fauna:

Michelle Word is an artist devoted to collecting. Largely composed of handmade and manufactured found materials, her collage + installation work explores contrasts such as gestural and controlled, familiar and unknown, material and illusion, natural and artificial. Vivarium: The Glass Houses of Flora + Fauna examines our increasing artificial relationship to nature by considering the ways we adorn or homes and spaces with nature inspired crafts, patterns, flower arrangements, and manicured landscapes.
